Flinders Ranges and Outback
Step back in time and discover the raw, rugged and natural beauty of the Flinders Ranges and Outback. This truly wonderous, 540 million-year-old landscape covers more than half of South Australia. It has the ability to leave you speechless, yet invigorated. You’ll see a landscape that changes its colours in every light, gnarled gum trees, stony ruins, red earth and a carpet of wildflowers during spring. Fly over Wilpena Pound and marvel at the vertical rock faces below, hike through Mother Nature’s most beautiful scenery or soak in a sky full of bright stars. Covering more than 70% of the State, and made up of nearly 50 towns, the Flinders Ranges and Outback is a region of great diversity with drives to the region ranging from a three-hour drive to Melrose, 263km north of Adelaide, to a nine-hour drive to Coober Pedy, 842km north of Adelaide. Coober Pedy is an opal mining town where many of the residents live underground. The Heysen Trail meanders through the rugged Mount Remarkable National Park and past the spectacular Alligator Gorge. This park is close to Hancocks Lookout, which has panoramic views of the Spencer Gulf.

More about the Flinders Ranges and Outback
Try some local dishes that creative chefs serve in the Flinders Ranges and Outback, such as an emu egg omelet, kangaroo tail soup and camel sirloin. From Port Germein, where coastal winds cool the vines, to the hillier vineyards around Jamestown and Wilmington, vines grow in everything from deep sandy loam, to red clay and shallow stony ground. Like the soil, Flinders Ranges’ wines are mostly red. Famous for its spectacular geology of rugged mountains, steep peaks and deep gorges, the Flinders Ranges hold a number of surprises with beachside experiences nestled at the base of the picturesque Southern Flinders Ranges. Port Augusta and Port Pirie are among the seaside towns with the Spencer Gulf teeming with aquatic life, large and small, including dolphins, blue swimmer crabs, snapper and King George whiting. Wilpena Pound, a natural basin in the Flinders Ranges, has some of the best hiking trails, bush walks and 4WD experiences in the country. Lake Eyre National Park is Australia’s largest salt-lake; it has only reached capacity three times in 150 years.
